For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. | For everyone born of God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. |
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? | Who indeed conquers the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |

The testimony is this: that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. | And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. |
He who has the Son has the life. He who doesn’t have God’s Son doesn’t have the life. | Whoever possesses the Son possesses life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not possess life. |
These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. | I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. |
This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. | And thus we can have confidence in him that if we ask anything that is in accordance with his will, he hears us. |
And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. | And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask him, we may be sure that all we ask of him will be ours. |
We know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. | We also know that the Son of God has come and given us understanding so that we can know the one who is true. And we are in the one who is true, since we are in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. |
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. | Dear children, keep away from idols. |
